Yes and also, if Ronaldo in this World Cup can make a big contribution to bring Portugal to the final then I'm still pretty sure Ronaldo will be recruited by a big club who is also competing in the top four. But unfortunately, I don't think Ronaldo's performance has made significant progress, so I doubt Ronaldo will be recruited by the big club as expected.
But regarding Chelsea being interested in Ronaldo, I think that is also true news, but unfortunately, at that time Tuchel refused, even though recruiting Ronaldo was the wish of Todd Boehly himself.

World Cup 2022 only reveals more truth about Ronaldo problems which are actually his body, strength and mindset. He must recognize that he is old enough and can not beat time and ageing.

Therefore, if he want to continue his career, he must make big adaptation, changing his style and even position. He also must accept that he will no longer be a first choice of coaches and less likely be used in a full match. Ronaldo is still useful but must be used differently than one or two seasons ago. Additionally, he should feel happy if his career continues and he still can have chance to play for big clubs and win titles with them.

Yes, I agree, but I also have a different opinion about Ronaldo. I realize that it doesn't matter if old players choose to continue playing, but they also have to be aware of their age. See how old players like Ibrahimovic and Giroud are for example, they only accept the coach's decision whether to play or only be benched in certain matches. At least by accepting and respecting the coach's decision, it will also have a good impact on the performance of those who can still play according to their portion.
But Ronaldo is very different, Ronaldo does not realize that his performance has decreased but his prestige and ambition are still very high.

It was this factor that made Ronaldo's evaluation worse and with an attitude that could not accept that he was being benched, it made Ronaldo no longer able to hold back his emotions, anger and selfishness.
Compare with Messi and Modric for example, they are also old players but they are still the first choice because they can still make a big contribution to the team and also, their style of play is indeed different. If Ronaldo still chooses to play, then Ronaldo must lower his ego and ambition because only then will Ronaldo still be accepted by many big teams.
